Section C STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

SCHUYLER OTIS BLAND LIBRARY Circulation Desk AT THE U.S. MERCHANT MARINE

ACADEMY

BACKGROUND

The United States Merchant Martine Academy (USMMA) is an agency of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) managed by the United States Department of Transportation.

The USMMA is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, all work shall be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (36 CFR part 68) http://www.nps.gov/tps/standards/four-treatments/treatment-guidelines.pdf.

All work shall meet or exceed the standards provided in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and guidelines for applying the standards published by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior 36 CFR 67.7 - Standards for rehabilitation.

The Schuyler Bland Memorial Library is located on the campus of the USMMA in building 17. The Library circulation desk, all component parts, and supplies will be delivered to the library, and installation will be carried out in the library.

The Library Circulation Desk is the first thing that patrons see when they walk into the library, and so it should have a good appearance and match the existing furnishings. The library recently had a refresh in which the furniture on the main floor was replaced having a Kensington maple style and color wood finish. A new circulation front desk of a very strong and durable quality and having a Kensington maple color finish to match the existing décor is needed.

6923G226Q000044 PAGE 2 OF 19

A critical need for the library is that the circulation desk needs to be constructed of solid wood to withstand the heavy use and materials placed on the desk surface. At the end of each trimester, thousands of library books are returned within a two-three day period. Books are stacked high on the circulation desk for sorting and check-in by library staff members. Desk-tops and surfaces need to be strong enough to support the possibility of people sitting on the top of the work stations, or leaning up against the desk. A minimum weight capacity of 300 pounds is essential.

Additionally, the top of the circulation desk must be strong enough to hold up to daily pushing books and other materials across the top of the desk. Laminate materials will not hold up to this heavy use. A stained, solid wood or quarried stone material is needed to withstand this level of daily use. Plastic or laminate surfaces are not sufficient for this level of use.

The desk needs to accommodate all of the standard functional needs of the library which the current, worn-out and falling apart desk provides. Specifically, a standing height work station to support a computer, barcode scanner, and receipt printer with a desk height of 39” is needed. A second computer workstation capable of supporting a computer and barcode scanner with a desktop measuring a standard 32” from the floor is needed.

SCOPE

The vendor shall deliver all components of the new library circulation desk to the Schuyler Bland Memorial Library at the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA). The vendor shall disassemble and remove the existing circulation desk and dispose of it at an off-campus location in accordance with all applicable federal, New York State, and local laws and regulations. The vendor shall assemble and install the new circulation desk in the library circulation area at the location designated by the Library Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).

DELIVERABLES

The Contractor is responsible for the following;

1. The circulation desk must have a minimum weight capacity of 300 lbs.

2. The desk must include a standing-height workstation capable of supporting a computer, barcode scanner, and receipt printer, with a desktop height of 39 inches.

3. The desk must also include a separate seated workstation capable of supporting a computer and barcode scanner, with a desktop height of 32 inches from the finished floor.

4. The desk must be constructed of solid wood and include a solid wood, quarried stone, or equivalent-strength countertop.

5. The desk must have a light-colored Kensington Maple finish.

6. When fully assembled, the straight front section of the circulation desk must measure between 17.5 and 18 feet in length.

7. Except for the seated workstation described in Item 3, all desktop surfaces must have a depth of 30 inches and a height of 39 inches.

8. The desk must include integrated cable and wire management features.

9. The desk must include lockable drawers and open adjustable storage compartments beneath the work surfaces.

10. The desk must include a full-height, built-in hinged-door storage unit with a locking mechanism and adjustable interior shelving.

11. The contractor must provide disassembly and removal of the existing circulation desk, including transportation off the USMMA campus, in accordance with all applicable federal, New York State, and local laws and regulations.

(c) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers and any modifications or revisions to the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation.

(2) Any offer, modification, or revision received after the time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition. However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(4) Offerors may withdraw their offers by written notice to the Government received at any time before award.

(d) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest, accept other than the lowest offer, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(e) Debriefings. If a postaward debriefing is given to requesting Offerors, the Government will disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed Offeror’s offer.

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful Offeror and the debriefed Offeror and past performance information on the debriefed Offeror.

(3) The overall ranking of all Offerors when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award.

(5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful Offeror.
